Special features of the VersaWing .0
if you want to convert the carrier from a Bicycle trailer to
another cts conversion Kit, or if you want to store the carrier,
the hitcharm on the cougar and cx can be stored to the side of
the carrier.
For this, the carrier must be upright or erected.
insert the front end of the hitcharm in the groove provided for
it in the click ‘n’ store bracket located on the rear side of the
carrier. the rear end of the hitcharm will point forward. Push the
hitcharm in the click ‘n’ store bracket down until the end of the
hitcharm catches in the recess of the Versawing 2.0, and the
horizontal holes of the hitcharm and Versawing 2.0 are aligned
with each other.
TiP
always store the hitcharm on the left-hand side of the carrier.
use the security pin at the end of the hitcharm for attaching the
hitcharm to the Versawing 2.0. For this, insert the pin through
the horizontal hole in the Versawing 2.0 and hitcharm until it will
go no further.
nOTE
always secure the stored hitcharm to the Versawing 2.0.
if you do not do this, it could work loose, get caught in the
wheel spokes and cause an accident.
Use
the exact position of the seat in the chariot has been specially
chosen so as to give optimum weight distribution if there are
only children sitting in the carrier.
the only other factor in weight distribution is the weight of
luggage items. the storage bags described in section 4.7
are intended for the carrying of luggage items. the carrying
of luggage items next to the child on the seat is prohibited.
we would also urge against carrying luggage items in the foot
space.
checking of the hitcharm load (tongue or nose weight) is
important if you want to carry a heavy load in the storage bags
along with a light child, or if you are using your chariot as a
Bicycle trailer.
the hitcharm load (tongue or nose weight) on the carrier hitch
needs to be 1 - 6 kg / 2.2 – 13.2 lb for safe road handling.
the hitcharm load (tongue or nose weight) is the weight that
you lift on the hitch when the carrier is loaded up.
If you are not confident about estimating the hitcharm load
(tongue or nose weight), use a bathroom scale to help you:
Put the bathroom scales next to the hitcharm of the loaded
carrier.
stand on the scales and note your own weight.
lift up the hitcharm at the hitch to around 30 cm/12 inches
above the ground.
the weight as displayed should now be 1 - 6 kg/2.2 – 13.2 lb
above your own weight.

always attach the snap hook of the hitch back-up safety
strap to its accompanying D-ring on the hitcharm end that
now points upwards. if you do not do this, it could get caught
in the wheel spokes and cause an accident.
